priorize inventory over stockpile?

[iamahh]

while crafting curios i've been thinking maybe inventory mats should be used before stockpile?

anyone found this situation? maybe there's a good reason for this though

It depends.
Sometimes I wish that inventory was prioritized, but if it was, I would probably sometimes wish that it was the other way around.

Yes, I'd prefer that too. Use what's in my inventory first and then from the stockpile.

dont know if its just out of habit, but i pull things from stockpiles, then while still in the stockpile menu, craft, and have to put the items back. Sometimes i just wanna check to make sure i have the right qa and items.

Thought that too at first, but using it some time I come to the conclusion that taking from stockpiles while they are open first makes more sense. In case you have additional items in the inventory you can scroll them into the respective stockpile (without stopping mass crafting) as soon as there is room.

The only thing that's unfun is that all stockpile windows open in the same place so you only see the last one (without moving them every time you click one open), fix that (eg. by having only one stockpile window that displays all the currently open ones, basically like a building sign window looks with different materials types) and all would be well.

Totally illogical ... inventory gets storage and storage gets inventory ... why isn't all storage inventory at all time then?!?

As a hafen noob i facepalm a lot when i stuffed things i don't wanted to use for crafting into storage (cups, stockpile) and had stuff i wanted to use in inventory ... but forgot to step away way from storage or stockpile ...
